develop

Definition

Besides the ordinary sense of building something, papers use it for a capability that appears in a model over the course of training. The nuance is that the ability was not directly engineered — it developed — which puts the word close to "emergent". Watch the ambiguity: the same verb also means writing software, and titles rarely disambiguate.
